• Inherited the health system introduced by the British
• The focus of the colonial medical department was hospital care, vaccination against
communicable diseases and sanitation.
• doctors were non-native as few natives were ready to take the long and arduous
medical course.
• Most doctors were concentrated in towns and most of the population continued
• to seek health care from indigenous medical practitioners and traditional birth
attendants in the villages
